[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 207344, member: 57984"] I just watched the first hour of BERSERK (1967) in which the best things are Joan being Joan, and the spectacular elephant walk with John (DALLAS circa 1980) Scott's towering pachyderm score. The movie is pretty bad, and essentially a remake of the much superior CIRCUS OF HORROS (1960) with Anton Diffring and Donald Pleasance (and Kenneth Griffith, whom I seem to love in that). Crawford's version has the same seemingly senseless and gory homicides more common in 1967 cinema than 1960 (making CIRCUS OF HORRORS far more shocking at the time for its luridness). Diana Dors looks horrible. Ty Hardin romances Joan (she made a play for him in real life, but she was "just too old") and Crawford has a discretely cast shadow across her neck in every scene. I'm sure I've posted about BERSERK before somewhere. I like to do a mental mash-up of both movies. They even end the same way. Billy Smart's circus is also used in both pictures.
